1. Double click the package
2. Open the manifest
3. Edit the options
4. Add you dummy data. In my solution I added the following:

<Solution xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

 
<Assemblies>

  
<Assembly Location="SharePointProject1.dll" DeploymentTarget="GlobalAssemblyCache">

    
<SafeControls>

      
<SafeControl Assembly="SharePointProject1,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=****************" Namespace="SharePointProject1" TypeName="*" />

    
</SafeControls>

  
</Assembly>

 
</Assemblies>

</Solution>
